Twelfth and Final

I finished the twelfth and final painting in the "Hide-away" series last night, and have it posted on eBay now. It is a gray tabby hiding out in a pile of autumn leaves. Out of all the paintings I have created for this series, I think that I saved the best for last. It isn't the last of my eBay paintings, however; I am contemplating the next one even now, although it won't be a series painting, it will probably be another cat painting. I usually do alot of dog paintings, but I am really enjoying the cats so I'll stick with them for a while I think. I will probably be doing some more wildlife art too; a zebra has caught my fancy!

Eleventh in the Series

I finished the eleventh portrait in my Hide-away series, called "Paper Pusher". It is a tuxedo cat, with his head poking out of a bed of shredded paper. I think it is pretty cute! One more in the series, and then it's back to random stuff. The series has taught me how to work on a schedule, and how to keep within a theme. I will probably do another series, but I'm not sure when or what theme I will follow. This one is currently on eBay, and I did sell two more portraits in this series!

Number Ten in the Series

I finished the tenth painting in my Hide-away series for eBay, titled "Snug as a Bug". It is a beautiful tortoise-shell cat, rolled up in a cream rug. I love the eyes on this one! Green as can be, they are really set off by the many colors of this cat. I will begin number eleven tonight; it is a tuxedo cat hiding in shredded paper. A real challange! I can hardly wait!

Nine and counting...

Just finished and listed "Jungle Cat", the ninth in my Hide-away series of cat portraits I'm currently selling on eBay! I really got "in the mood" over the weekend and finished this one up in about a day. I'm so into it now, I've already got number ten lined up in my head and will be starting on it tonight. The next portrait will be a tortoise shell, rolled up in a rug. Can't wait to get it started, so I'll be sketching it out tonight, and will probably start laying in the color. Catch you later, and I'll post my latest, as well as the next one as soon as I have it completed!

Number Nine

I have been lazy. You can call it a "creative block" or whatever, but the reality is that I just haven't been in the mood to create anything for the past few days. It can get frustrating to see your work, that you have labored over, not get any interest when selling. The sixth kitty in my series, House Sitter, didn't sell; it didn't even have anyone watching it, and I guess I just got a little dejected over it, because I thought it was cute and well done. But I have two more still on eBay, seven and eight of the series, and they both have watchers, so maybe they will sell. I finally got to working on the ninth, a brown tabby laying in the leaves of a plant, and I will of course create him to the best of my abilities. I will post him here when I have finished; I have the house to myself tonight, at least for about four hours, and I will work probably the whole time on number nine. I've been poring over my reference photos, and I think I have the rest of the series layed out in my head, just not sure of the order yet. I'll post again tomorrow when I've finished this one.
